Expert Profile: Sifu Richard Mieir-King

Expertise:  Since 1971 I have been involved, trained and instructed in 5 Animal 5 Family Kung Fu and can answer questions on subjects such as Qi Gong, Hand Conditioning (Iron Palm and herbal practices), Southern Kung Fu Systems, Weapons, 5 Animal 5 Family Kung Fu, health aspects of Kung Fu and fighting aspects of Kung Fu, and various techniques. Our system is based on the 5 major Animal Styles which are Tiger, Dragon, Snake, Leopard, and Crane. We also teach a variety of other animal styles such as Black Bird, Peacock, Horse, Donkey, Elephant, Ram (also called Small Cross Set) and other Animal Styles. Besides Animal forms we also teach forms such as Butterfly Palm, Praying Mantis, Combination, Crab, and others. The Family Forms we teach are Hung Gar, Choy Gar, Li Gar, Fut Gar and Muk Gar. We also teach a variety of weapons such as Staff, Quarter Staff, single and double batons, Spear, 3 Sectional Staff, Nunchaku, Iron Sais (Gen), Chain Whip, Kwan Dao, Darn Dao, Single and Double Daggers, Chinese Wand, Axes, and more. Kung Fu is a way of balancing Body, Mind and Spirit.

Past/Present clients
Besides teaching the general public we have also taught law enforcement officers, prision guards, boarder patrol agents, bouncers and more.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I believe regardless of how much one has acheived we are always a student and should always be perfecting our skills, I look forward to continuing to practice and perfect my skills as long as I possibly can. It's always a work in progress, if it isn't, you reach a plateau and stagnate.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  See the section labeled Something Interesting about this subject, I think the same would apply.
What do you like about this subject?  I know from personal expereince that Kung Fu can benefit you in all areas and walks of life, your health, discipline, mental focus and much much more, the fighting aspects are only the tip of the iceberg.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Its not something others dont know but worth mentioning. This art benefits a person on many levels, their security, self confidence, etc., so they can fight yet rather walk away. This applies in all aspects of life, not just martial arts. There's a saying that a boy becomes a man when he learns to walk around a puddle instead of through it, martial arts benefits our body and mind.
